For all of the years I have been a wooter, I never try to predict. Really don't need to, as it seems that I am always going on line at 1AM eastern just to check to see what the latest offerings are. Force of habit from the good old days!

Each night when I connect to the powers beyond, there is only the minimalist level unrest. Most, you see, is a calm swirling of time and misty entities. Ages upon ages, routine upon day, there is little that causes excitement or change. Occasionally, there will be a ripple, a flash of excitement, when the beings of the nether stir in irrational patterns, generating great waves of electricity that strikes down any mortal who is not sure of mind and fleet of foot. These you see are normal bouts of excitement. You frequently see them on April 1, July 12, and December 25.

Then as the woot-off approaches there is an increased tension between the beings, the swirling bursts of excitement do not spark the deathly lightening bursts, but instead, leaves an electric tension throughout the entirety of the nether realm. And then just before woot-time, there is a huge crash, bolts of lightening throbbing in a rhythmic orange blaze. The tension coalesces into a wave of light and electricity. This overwhelming force knocks out power grids and takes down the internet of the mortal realm, and in it's wake a woot-off begins.

This is going to be so difficult... But to sweeten the wait, we'll try to include a teaser for Episode 2 with the results as well, because we plan on doing this (and other fun things) again very soon.

"Hey Ducky!"
"Hi Cat!"
"That was a difficult case to solve."
"Sure was."
"Good thing we had a bunch of help."
"Are you going to talk all day or just tell them what they want to know?"
"Yeah, I better get to the point."

Please enjoy the best of the bunch!

First up, we have to give some mad props and a Honorable Mention to bogie's monkey pictures. We are of the belief you would make an excellent WootCrimeScene Photographer, should you wish to go that route someday.

brucoite's cleverly crafted method of divination was simply spectacular. Take a bow!

After some debate and careful consideration, we believe that the simple originality of pooflady's "i want one" rang true, much like a shot in the foggy night that clearly hit its mark. Poor fortune teller, but yay pooflady!

Finally, in the realm of overall creativity for both speculation and crime scene analysis, we tip our fancy fedoras and Sherlock caps to chris12345 and Tiamat114. Bravo!

If your name has been mentioned above, you should have a special message in your PM box (the little envelope that is occasionally good for something) from our agents celebrating your victory, other commentary, and thanks.

Well done, everyone! It was a tough decision but we had fun and hope you did too. What does Episode 2 have in store? We may stay in the land of EBW, or head off to one of our other forums. The ideas are already rolling, but the hints you'll get today, alas, they are pretty much the quality of something you'd find in a Bag Of Clues.

It's Friday. That's just how it goes.

What you can count on for sure is after the woot-off lights go on, the game will start (and be sure to look for it) and it won't stop until the lights go back off again.

Oooooh, I'm so excited! I want to thank my mother and my father and my husband and my junior English teacher and everybody at Woot, especially Inky and Ducky. I couldn't have done it without all the little people!

I'll be perfectly honest, I'm having a TON of problems with my memory that have escalated over the past few months and just had an MRI done Friday to see what's up. I have to admit, I completely and totally forgot I participated in this.

By that I mean I probably never would have remembered it ever again. D:

I went to read the comments on the forums today and was confused and slightly bewildered by a mystery PM, but it was the bestest and awesomest PM I could have ever asked for. Totally made my day, and I needed this boost!
